The possibility of cloning came from Scottish scientists at Roslin Institute when they cloned a sheep "Dolly " in 1997. "Dolly " was cloned from an adult sheep mammary gland. She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte (developing egg cell) that has had its nucleus removed. This alarmed the Scotland public because of its scientific implications. The public was shocked upon the idea of cloning. Cloning is the duplication of biological material, such as animals, cells, organs, even humans. Human cloning is the artificial process of making a genetic twin of a person. While people see human cloning as immoral and dangerous, there are a lot of positive things that can come out of this. For every bad reason there is to ban human cloning, there is a good one. Especially with the rise of health risks that humans encounter, cloning can solve a high percentage of those problems. Human cloning most certainly should be legal.
We live in a world that has new diseases killing humans every day, such as cancer. Cancer can be in any part of the body and rapidly spread. Wouldn't it be marvelous to be able to avoid the painful experience of chemo therapy or radiation by just simply replacing the organ that's being attacked with a new one? Replacing new organs is nothing new with science and health, but it's a hassle to find someone with the right tissue and blood type that's willing to donate their organ. Human cloning can make it possible to have an organ or limb replaced with an organ or limb that actually belongs to the person who needs it. Scientists can simply take the DNA cells from the part of the body that's infected and take it to a lab to be developed. There you have a brand new organ that's yours.
For example, in the article, "Scientist Grow Organs in Labs " by Steve Busti, he states that researchers take healthy cells from a patient's diseased bladder, cause them to multiply profusely in Petri dishes, and then apply them to a balloon-shaped scaffold made partly of collagen, the protein found in cartilage.
